The Role Of Peer And Tutor Feedback

Feedbacks have always been an important part of our lives without us knowing. As we know, feedback can come in all sorts of forms. I have always viewed feedback as a burden than a positive experience as I usually treat it as a criticism more than a learning experience. However through university modules and presentations, receiving feedbacks made me realize that having feedbacks allows us to better improve ourselves from other people’s perspective. The same would be if we gave other people feedbacks.This was especially true after one such presentation during effective communications module. I was very surprised that some of the audience which included my tutor and peers liked my enthusiasm during my presentation. On the other hand, when I saw other people presenting, I had mixed feelings about their presentation and giving feedback would give them insights to work on their weaknesses and improve on their strengths.

As we know there would always be several people who would have different tastes. It is true that we cannot always please everybody, but I feel that it is important to accept criticism and improve ourselves from there. I am glad that I now see feedbacks in a different light. I will always accept feedbacks no matter how positive or negative they may be. This would better improve me as an individual as having different perspectives is always useful especially when we live in an open and diverse society. I would have to keep in mind to always show my enthusiasm when presenting. Additionally with feedbacks, there would always be room for improvement.

Through this learning outcome, I would always use feedbacks as a way of improving myself. Apart from that, I would also try my best to give appropriate feedback to those around me when I feel their actions could have room for improvement .At the same time, if they have done well I would compliment them on their work. This would be most certainly useful for future presentations and for my future careers.
